The Association of Adiposity and RAAS With Incident Diabetes in African Americans: The Jackson Heart Study.
Article in The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) and adiposity measures are independently associated with the development of diabetes in African American adults. However, studies have not examined the combined interaction between RAAS and adiposity measures in relation to diabetes risk in African American adults.
objectiveWe examined the longitudinal association of combined RAAS and adiposity measures with incident diabetes among African American adults in the Jackson Heart Study.
methodsAfrican American adults were assessed at baseline (2000-2004) and over 12 years of follow-up. RAAS, anthropometric (waist circumference [WC], body mass index), and adipokine (adiponectin, leptin, leptin to adiponectin ratio [LAR]) measures were collected at baseline. Aldosterone, WC, and LAR were chosen as the best predictor variables. The final model, adjusting for age, sex, education, occupation, systolic blood pressure, smoking, physical activity and RAAS-altering medications, incorporated these variables and their interactions (WC*aldosterone + LAR*aldosterone) to explore their impact on incident diabetes.
resultsAmong 3219 participants without diabetes at baseline, there were 554 incident cases over a median follow-up period of 7.5 years. Aldosterone, WC, and LAR were positively associated with incident diabetes (all P < .05). A significant interaction was found between WC and aldosterone, with a greater association among individuals with lower WC. This interaction was significant in participants with prediabetes but not in those with normoglycemia. No significant interaction was found between log-LAR and aldosterone with risk of incident diabetes.
conclusionHigher aldosterone in participants is associated with greater risk of diabetes, particularly among individuals with prediabetes and lower WC.
